What Is Communion?

Communion, sometimes referred to as the Lord’s Supper, is a celebration and remembrance of Christ’s death and Resurrection.

 

1 Corinthians 11:23-26 gives us a great example of communion and what it is.

 

1. It is a reminder.
“…and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘This is my body, which is for you; eat it in remembrance of me.’” (vs. 24)

 

2. It is a symbol.
“In the same way, He took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; drink it to remember me.’” (vs. 25)

 

3. It is a statement of faith.
“For whenever you eat the bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes back.” (vs. 26)
